index_of(node)

Returns the zero-based index of the specified node.

def index_of(self, node: aspose.words.Node):
    ...

Parameter	Type	Description
node	Node	The node to locate.

Remarks

This method performs a linear search; therefore, the average execution time is proportional to NodeCollection.count.

Returns

The zero-based index of the node within the collection, if found; otherwise, -1.

Examples

Shows how to get the index of a node in a collection.

doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Tables.docx')
table = doc.first_section.body.tables[0]
all_tables = doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.TABLE, True)
self.assertEqual(0, all_tables.index_of(table))
row = table.rows[2]
self.assertEqual(2, table.index_of(row))
cell = row.last_cell
self.assertEqual(4, row.index_of(cell))
